Accomplishment In The Classroom
The author, S, is writting to her parents about their, “fun,” experience at that weekend’s game seemingly trying to drop a subtle hint about their seat. S starts off the letter with an opener to both lay the hint that they want the seats and to appeal to their pity. She gose on to describe her experience as, “a whole other level,” and proceedes to openly ask for the seats for the next game so that she doesn’ have to deal with the. “nonsense,” of the student section. She then brings up her recent acomplishments to further butter up her parents. She then attempts to appeal to their logic by bringing up the fact that they are going to be out of town for a while so that she might be able to sit in their seats.

    Thriving Classroom

    When first starting in early childhood the perfect classroom environment can easily be mistaken for a perfect quiet controlled one. The truth is one that is controlled only in small proportions by the adult and dictated by the children can prove to be a much more thriving and conducive environment. When working in a preschool room variety and observation is one of the top two ingredients for a successful room among many others. When preschool is mentioned the age group that is ideal for this is a multi-age from 2.5 to 5 years old. As Dr. Montessori expresses that this allows children to mentor and learn from different ages of development (Jaruszewicz, 2013). The other ideals for a thriving classroom come from different curriculums and theories. The theories I will explore will be intertwining the classic Montessori methods and Reggio Emilia method with the more modern methods and principles of creative curriculum.…

    What is the achievement gap? According to the Glossary of Education Reform, achievement gap refers to, “any significant and persistent disparity in academic performance or educational attainment between different groups of student, such as white students and minorities, for example, or students from higher-income and lower-income households.” The focus on this paper is on the disparity in academic performance between students from higher-income households and students from lower-income households. It is no secret that this issue exists, where the controversy tends to arise is when we discuss how to solve it. In 2002, the United States government tried to solve the problem by enacting the No Child Left Behind Act. However, the No Child Left…

    The Achievement Gap

    This term paper is broken down into three parts. In Part I, I will address the causes of the achievement gap and why it is so difficult to overcome for certain underperforming subgroups. I believe that the underlying factor causing the achievement gap is money. In a direct sense, it is clear that having money is a big advantage for students and not having money creates a host of challenges. The economically disadvantaged achievement gap is created when economic factors cause poor students to begin school behind the curve and then pose obstacles to closing the gap as they get older. There is an achievement gap for ethic groups, as well. Part of this gap can be explained by the fact that historical factors have led to African American and Hispanics being overly represented in the economically disadvantaged category. There are also social and cultural factors that lead to discrepancies in achievement, but tracing these back far enough will show that economic factors played a role in shaping the social and cultural climate. The gap is extremely difficult to close because the current systems do not close the gap, but, instead, perpetuate a cycle of underperformance.…

    There are many types of goals. Growing up, I always dreamed of being two things: a mother and a nurse. I am blessed to have two wonderful children ages 14 and 16 and have had the privilege of being able to be a stay-at-home mom during their younger years. Now that they are older and a bit more independent, I have decided to go back to school and fulfill my goal of earning my degree in Nursing. Throughout the years of growing and maturing, I have learned how important it is to have good morals, values, goals, a passion for something, and a good education. I have not only taught my children the importance of these characteristics, but I have also shown them that regardless of one’s age or stage in life, that…
